IMPROVEMENT IN @Ensems-MACHINE.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONERN:

Be it known that I, DANIEL I. HALL, of Dowagiac, in th.-l county of Cass, and inA the State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Grubbing-Machines; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear', end ,exact description'thereof, reference being `had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon. v

YIn the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, A represents a frame, which is made of wood, and 'in a very solid and substantial manner, and which is intended to lie upon the ground. B B represent two uprigbts, which are erected upon this frame, and which are connected together by means of, a cross-piece, C, lwhich isframed into them at their upper ends. flhese uprights are braced fromv the frame, in one direction, by means of the bracesJ J. Ivrepresents avertical shaft, which has a. bearing in a cross-piece, D, ofthe frame A, and one in the cross-piece C at the top of the uprightsB B. Around the'shaft Ilis placeda spool, E, said spool being firmly connected to the shaft. To the upper end of shaft Iis a lever, H, by meansofwhich it is'revolved.

F represents a chain, which is connected-at each end tothe uprights B B, near their lower ends, and which is intended tofbe passed over or secured to the stumpto be extracted. G represents achain, one end of which is secured to the spoolE, and the other end carried and wrapped around such stumpsas may be in the immediate vicinity of the frame, as is clearly shown in the drawings l When the chain F has been secured'around the stump or grub to be pulled up, and the chain G has been -securedtosuch stumps as are near, power is applied to the lever H, and` the chain is wound around the spool E, draWing--the'frame and spool awayfroin toward the stump which the machine is pulling, carrying said stump 'with it. This machine may be used with either stumps o rtrees for drawing up stumps. d

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure' by Letters Patent, is The frame A, the uprghts B B, cross-piece C,'and the shaft Lwith its spool and lever-handle, with the chains F and G, arranged and-used as and for the purpose set forth. d i l In testimony :hul-claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hund, this 1st day of June, `1867.`
